The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival

A very silly festival that people seem to enjoy

About the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival

Founded in 2008 by Julie Smith Clem and Eugene Mirman, The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival is the world’s first sincere-and-ironic comedy festival that celebrates a close-knit comedy community, while making fun of the trappings of mainstream festival programming. The festival ran for 10 years in Brooklyn and in addition to the comedy on stage, festival goers found a bouncy castle with a therapist inside, a roaming CPA dressed like a clown giving tax advice, and a station where you can throw a water balloon at a slam poet.
